Recorded the first 100 pages of Lost Found Kept: A Memoir for the audiobook. You can preorder now and it’ll be available in Dec. Had a nightmare last night I had to read a book in Middle English😂 so I was happy how this went. @triohousepress.org @tantoraudio.bsky.social

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Appreciate the lovely shout out from @christinavandepol.bsky.social who is a retired coroner and felt my book would be of interest to her colleagues. Now there’s a market I did not expect for interest in #hoarding. But it makes total sense! @triohousepress.org

This is great: a National Guardsman standing up to say every member of the National Guard and military "is legally obliged to disobey an illegal order."

My name is Captain Dylan Blaha, and this message is for members of the National Guard across the USA.
I've served in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 12 years, including a deployment to Afghanistan and three years on active duty in Europe.
What's going on right now is not normal.
